3. Can Arsenal heap misery on injury-plagued Brighton?

Arsenal won the previous meeting 4-2 after being up 3-0 after 47 minutes, but Brighton have shown their ability to be giant slayers this season.

The Seagulls have beaten Manchester United 1-0, Chelsea 2-0, Liverpool 3-0 in the Premier League and 2-1 in the FA Cup, and have already beaten Arsenal in the League Cup 3-1 earlier in the season.

But coming off a 5-1 hammering against Everton, Brighton are there for the taking. Can Arsenal take full advantage?
